         We've had bad times
         Through the years

         Think of me through tender tears
         And try to close your eyes
         And try to close your eyes
         To thoughtless things I do
         The dreams that don't come true
         'Cause I'll never change, believe me I try
         If you go away, you know that I'll die
         Oh I need you, please don't say goodbye
